How Does the SBNC Process Work?
The SBNC begins meeting in October to begin the recruitment process. The Committee is briefed by a current or previous member of the Board of Education. Members are required to attend a minimum of three Board of Education meetings; many attend more. In December, the SBNC sends a letter to the community inviting nominations for the Board of Education, and providing notice of the date, time and place of the Open Meeting in January to announce nominations for the Board of Education. After the January Open Meeting interview meetings with the candidates are scheduled. The interviews take place in March and are private. Endorsements are made in March at the completion of the interview schedule. The SBNC announces the Endorsed Candidates. A Candidates Forum is held in April, and the election is held in May.
